An amendment sponsored by Senator Jim DeMint (R-SC) was defeated in the U.S. Senate by a vote of 68-29.  15 Republicans joined with the Democrats to defeat the amendment that would have temporarily banned earmarks for a year.

Since I know a lot of conservatives come here and read, I pose this question to you.  Do you still believe the Republican Party is a party that embraces small government and fiscal responsibility?
